Pinder Brothers 2.5oz Top Pocket Flask - Pewter

Pewter possesses a unique combination of qualities. It retains its sheen, is hardwearing and is incredibly flexible to work with, making it the ideal material for developing and crafting new designs. It’s therefore no surprise that pewter has been in continuous use since the Bronze Age and is one of the world’s oldest manufacturing industries.

Originally made of pure tin with the addition of some lead, today’s pewter is completely free of lead. In addition to containing pure tin, small amounts of antimony (to add to lustre) and copper (for strength) are also used.

Pinder Brothers continually have samples of the production independently tested to make sure that the product meets the high Consumer Protection Standards demanded both at home and abroad.

1. Thoroughly wash inside using a solution of clean, warm water and several drops of liquid dish detergent and then rinse thoroughly with clean water before first use.
2. Before first use, fill the flask with plain water, screw the top down hard and shake vigorously to ensure the flask is water tight, before filling with spirit. All our
   flasks are water tested before despatch, but occasionally, damage has been known to occur in transit.
3. Always keep your flask clean on the outside, and when you have used one filling of spirit, clean the inside of the flask as mentioned in (1), for hygienic reasons.
4. Spirit can be retained in the flask as long as you require and the quality will be maintained as if it had been in a glass bottle.
5. Pewter spirit flasks are not suitable for use with soda water or carbonated drinks.
6. Not suitable for use in a dishwasher.
7. Pewterware has a low melting point and should not be used in conjunction with any type of stove or heat source, otherwise serious damage will occur.

A family business since 1877, the company has been based in the iconic Sheaf Plate Works since 1939, now an expanding creative hub in the centre of Sheffield. There, Pinder Brothers manufacturers silver-plated cutlery and fine pewterware. All of their Sheffield made products are handmade and exported worldwide.
